said that the main reason lax is on ESPN is that there is an executive
who is a big time advocate for the initiative (lax on ESPN). My guess is that his backing is based on one of two things: 1) he played?, 2) your points on the power of the demographic. The lax demographic is essentially the old golf demographic (you know back when cadilac and rolex were main sponsors and before the crowds all had mullets...) ~ high level of education, income and business influence. The game does produce a very disproportionate amount of I-Bankers, Traders and Lawyers.... |

Quint is annoying. As time goes on things will change ** -- hokieh8r Sat Jun 2 2012 2:08:23 PM |

Some of you guys should try to actually listen to Quint instead of going by old -- 1moreUVAfan Sun Jun 3 2012 9:54:15 AM |

Exactly. I saw nothing in his post that was bad. He made some great points. ** -- CDCHoo Mon Jun 4 2012 10:48:53 AM |

I listen to Quint until he starts playing favorites ...then i shut him down. ** -- hokieH8ter Sun Jun 3 2012 9:41:18 PM |

Better than Vitale or Raftery IMO ** -- HOOfan_1 Sat Jun 2 2012 2:12:07 PM |

Quint is on the Skip Payless level. Raftery is OK. Vitale is -- dpc1994 Sat Jun 2 2012 4:11:31 PM |

How does Bayless still have a job? -- blah Sat Jun 2 2012 5:04:25 PM |

IMO, he had no credibility to lose. -- ACME-Hoo Sun Jun 3 2012 8:11:48 AM |

Possibly firing him would trigger a huge severance package. ** -- 1moreUVAfan Sun Jun 3 2012 10:23:57 AM |

That is immensely surprising to me. Women's bowling????? -- cvilleHOOrat Fri Jun 1 2012 10:52:49 PM |
|
You're correct, we are very fortunate to have so many lax games broadcast. -- Lax Dr. Sat Jun 2 2012 10:51:18 AM |
|
How many people bowled in their lives? How many even know the rules to lax. -- blah Sat Jun 2 2012 9:59:01 AM |

I've painted fences before...doesn't mean I want to watch others do it ** -- HOOfan_1 Sat Jun 2 2012 10:29:43 AM |

I sure don't, but according to Quint ... they do. ** -- blah Sat Jun 2 2012 5:05:14 PM |

Just asking: is the lax demographic perhaps a particularly desirable one for -- Lax Dr. Sat Jun 2 2012 7:52:57 AM |

No, not really. It's a "highbrow" sport, and caters to the upper part. -- CDCHoo Mon Jun 4 2012 10:50:57 AM |

Your point sounds good to me. ** -- 1moreUVAfan Sun Jun 3 2012 9:55:20 AM |

My guess is that the ratings are just limited severely by region -- VailSkis Fri Jun 1 2012 11:24:13 PM |
|
I disagree, I don't think the sport of lacrosse should change -- cvilleHOOrat Sat Jun 2 2012 11:26:23 PM |
